Jake “The Snake” Roberts dropped by Pro Wrestling Powerhouse Radio
earlier this week (December 10, 2013) to discuss a variety of topics
including what he has been up to lately, the possibility of doing
wrestling psychology seminars, his upcoming books, thoughts on current
WWE talent, Hulk Hogan and much more!

On his experience at PWS in New Jersey: “Well, I had a great time. I
mean, ya know, coming back after the journey I’ve been through, man. Ya
know, I went all the way off the deep end to such a dark, horrible place
and then to rebound and become resurrected and step back out of it is
amazing enough. But to have the opportunity to get back into the ring,
the one thing I truly loved in my whole life, to have that opportunity
to go back out and perform and be in front of the fans. And feel the
itch and feel that twitch again…man, it doesn’t get any better than
that. You have great crowds up there. It was fun being around the fans,
talking to the fans. Enjoying my time with them…taking photos, signing
pictures and whatever. It’s just a wonderful place I live in right now,
man.”

Jake on his upcoming books: “I’ve written a book. I’ve got 600 pages
into a book, actually. I just started into the WWE, so that tells you
that the book is going to be pretty thick. Instead of going with a book
the weighs 50 lbs, we’re going to break this into three parts…a trilogy
type of thing.”

Jake on possibly teaching wrestling psychology to wrestlers across the
country: “I’d love to do that, but it takes a lot of foot work…and my
feet don’t move that fast anymore, man. So, that’s an idea that I’d love
to do. I would love to share the knowledge that I have. You know, and
it’s actually a choice and something I should be doing regardless. I’ve
communicated the knowledge I have over the years and helped teach a lot
of great talent that are no longer available. I’d like to be sharing
what I know. I’d like an opportunity in the WWE to help their talent…I
know they need it.”

Jake also discusses some of his demons in the past, why he was the
“go-to” guy for heels before they got to Hogan in the 80’s, why the feud
with Hulk Hogan never happened and much more in this exclusive 30-minute
interview on Pro Wrestling Powerhouse Radio.
